Artistic Wedding Photography (15 photos)

One of the greatest trends to come about in these modern times is artistic wedding photography. Rather than flip through countless photos of stiff people with fake smiles, couples are choosing to change it up. Whether they’re utilizing personalized props or are posing in front of meaningful backgrounds, couples are giving us a rare glimpse into their lives. These photos become snapshots of their story. While some play out like the last chapter of a romance novel – tender and sweet with not the slightest bit of cheesiness, still others just give us hope that, in the end, true love will prevail.

Here, then, are fifteen different stories taken by fifteen different photographers. They represent some of the best wedding photography around.

As technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, it’s found a place in nearly everyone’s life. If you’re looking for the perfect gift this holiday, digital devices and great gadgets are the place to start. From the world traveler to the health conscious to the kid at heart, we’ve found products that utilize modern technology in exciting ways.

Earlier this year, we marveled at Aelia Petro‘s mystical dragon jewelry that wraps around your neck as if you were Daenerys Targaryen. Since delighting us with those fantastical accessories, Petro has continued to craft the creatures. Now, they’re ready for the holidays as dragon ornaments that cling to baubles and bulbs. Not only are they ready to celebrate with you, but they’re on a mission, too.
